I'm Dufus

[DRPEPPER]

At the invite of a freind who attends First Baptist in Cabot, I was in a shooting contest held at Remington's skeet range. I have never done anything quite like this before. But, it was my day...almost. My name was in the pot twice (by mistake) for a door prize. Wouldn't you know it; I have never won a door prize in my life and they called my name twice. The first time I won ceramic duck. I am saving it to give to Mimi for her aniversury in October. I also won a light for the bill of my cap. I gave that away to a kid that was getting anxious about winning something. Then he wins a guided dove hunt next weekend.
To top the day off...
I had been hearing about old "So and So" and his buddies having perfect scores last year. I finished the day shooting 43 out of 50. I was proud of that acheivement. But, today I learned there was a three way tie for first place in my class and I was one of the three. There was a "shoot off" to determine the champ and I had already left. I still don't know if I won anything for coming in at least third or not. I understand there were some kids there that had better scores than us old timers.
However I had a blast. If any one from FBC Cabot reads this, tell the organizers to bring a couple more slabs of ribs next year. I will be bringing a couple of boys that think they are hotshots next year.

DRPEPPER, I am glad you had so much fun shooting clay targets! I have shot there at Remington, and I too had a ball. Best wishes. Ray

The funny part of the day was the beginning...trying to get out of the house with three kids courious about you getting your gun.
I thought I would make them think I was placing myself in danger so they wouldn't want to go with me. I didn't want to leave Mimi with three screaming kids that were PO'd because they didn't get to go with Paca Don. I told them that I heard a bear roaming around the house and I was going to get him and we would eat him. The boy ran and jumped into Mimi's lap. But the girl told me to wait until she found her flip flops and she would go with me.
Now I know who I can count on in a bear fight.:D
